Hey,
Couldn't find any info regarding this issue.
I have CM11 installed on my nexus 5, and each time I update the version (nightly) it removes the Trebutchet launcher.
This is pretty frustrating seeing as each time I need to re-install the launcher and re-organize all my desktop setup.
CM11 with PA full G-apps - did full wipe before rom and g-apps installation.
*I would ask on the official CM11 nightly thread, though it seems i have insufficient permissions.

stop wiping.
all you are doing is updating, theres no need to wipe. every time you wipe data, you lose your setup. just flash the new rom over the older rom(and gapps) and your launcher will stay.

I guess my explanation wasn't good enough, i'll explain again.
I don't re-wipe every time, I only wiped the first time before installing CM11 for the first time.
Since then I updated (nightly versions) twice by simply flashing and both times they removed my Trebutchet launcher.

Trebuchet still doesn't have a backup settings function? What a joke.
Use a better launcher. Nova is good.

Thanks but I like the "close to vanilla" launcher with little customization options it offers.
And regardless of backup or not, I still don't understand why anything should be removed when I update - same rom both kitkat, only new nightly - boom stuff removed.

Isn't Trebuchet just branched from Google Now Launcher? It doesn't have it either unless you use the Xposed module.

If the launcher is in the zip file, then it will be in system. So the permissions may be incorrect.

The GAPPS you are using is causing the issue. PA's full stock package removes trebuchet and a few other apps during flashes

This is a tweaked versions of CARBON-JB-UNOFFICIAL-B11 so all credit goes to killersloth for the ROM. Without his work this ROM wouldn't be possible. So if you like this ROM please go to the CARBON ROM thread and click the "Thanks" button.
Changes Made:
Replaced Trebuchet launcher with Nova launcher.
Replaced stock gallery with Sony Z Album and Movie app (Facebook & Twitter integration working.)
Added Sony Z Walkman app with UPNP/DLNA Media Server.
Replaced the default kernel with the kernel from CM10.1 Stable by verygreen.
Added BeatsAudio+xLoud+ClearAudio for audio effects and ViPER4Android for the sound engine. Settings I am using.
Added Mobile BRAVIA® Engine for improved video processing.
Modified Adobe Flash 11.1 with Hulu support.
Host level ad blocking. If you are having issues with adblocking see attachments to remove it.
Forced all rendering to be done on the GPU. Should help with gaming and make things more smoother. To help improve performance even further see this post.
GoogleEars.
Kick Ass Kernelizer
Auto-zipalign and defragdb on boot
Auto Calibration on boot. Only does a few programs each boot. So may take a few reboots to calibrate all of them.
Plus many improvements taken from this thread.
I also added some terminal commands.
Run each command with SU first then the command.
fixfc - Fix apps force closing.
sclean - Clean the dalvik cache and cache partition
v6 - run the V6 SuperCharger script. I would run this as soon as the ROM is setup..
Know bugs
Not a bug as such but something you should be aware of. It does take a few reboots to optimise all the apps.
V4A XHiFi may do a hot reboot when first getting root, same with Root Browser. This will only happen once and will work fine afterwards. This is only normally an issue if you try getting ROOT on first boot. On the second reboot this doesn't happen.
Wifi will turn off then back on while it is setting up wl1271-nvs.bin. Once the file is created Wifi shouldn't disconnect.
Any more issues please report them.

If you would like to use the WALKMAN app from the Sony Xperia Z Ultra you can do so by flashing this: Xperia-Ultra_WALKMAN_SemcMusic.zip. Make sure you boot into the ROM before flashing. If you flash this without booting into the ROM first it will not work.
Most of the features in the Sony Xperia Z Ultra WALKMAN are working but "Music Unlimited" service isn't.
Thank you, I will give it a try.
Do we use the gapps from the original carbon threads?
And how do you flash the scrips? Just like any other zip file? Can it be done when installing this ROM ?

I just added the scripts as a separate download so other devs can take a look at them without downloading the whole ROM. All the scripts are included in the ROM. Everything you need is built into the ROM. Just download it and install.

I installed on top of Carbon B9 without wiping anything and everything was forceclosing.Then I wiped cache partiion and Dalvick cache and reinstalled ,it was usable thistime but several apps still forceclosing including Chrome,I went back to Carbon.

If you did not install with full wipe I am note sure it is fair to mark it as unstable. Did you even attempt to clear the app data for the apps foreclosing?
have not tried this yet but just thought labeling the effort as unstable prior to proper install is not fair.

Just installed with full wipe restoring apps and data from TB. So far everything is ok.
Feels slightly less laggy than B9.
Dunno about battery life yet.
This is working great for me.
I did a dirty flash over RootBox and it's really nice.
Been the best rom for me on my Nook so far. Pinguy1982, please keep the thread updated mate.
Only issue I had was my usual
Android.process.acore has stopped
Which I resolved by following the text below. (cribbed from somewhere on the net)
If you go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/ then choose the All tab. Scroll down to Contacts open it and clear the data cache. Now do the same again but this time open Contact Storage and also clear the data cache. This issue is related to an Android bug and affects many devices. It's related to apps that use the sync function.
Works for me.
Cheers all

I agree completely and would urge the poster to revise his comment or certainly remove the subject. Way too hasty and unfair to make such a quick judgment certainly in the absence of a full or data wipe.

Sorry if I offended you.My understanding is that you wipe data only if you are installing in place of different ROM.It was carbon on top of Carbonand I did not feel I needed to wipe data partition.

Dude it's all cool. But I have changed a fair bit to the ROM so just installing over it probably won't work. I have made drastic changes to how dalvik works so using pre-installed apps from a previous install probably won't work.

Apps no, dalvik cache maybe. Restoring apps settings and the apps won't be a problem, but using the dalvik cache might be.
The cache is in /data/dalvik-cache. Using that maybe an issue.

I'm too new to post in the dev subforum, but have a few issues with Flappy's AOSP Rom and wanted to ask:
- very low call volume, even maxxed out. any way to increase?
- lots of FCs, all sorts of apps - WhatsApp, Gmail, Exchange Services, etc. - how to troubleshoot?

since you are new to the forum may I suggest you look in all sub forums because there is a fix zip in Apps section for what you are asking to be increased. Prior to posting though you should simply search all over. Also take some time and explore the forum especially now since its early and not to cluttered.
As far as troubleshooting I think you may need to simply try a clean install again. Did you install your apps via Play Store or did you use Titanium. You can go into recovery and wipe cache(s)

Thanks playya, apologies and my bad about the search.
I used Play Store (don't use any backup app like Titanium). I wiped cache/dalvik before and after rom-install. Want to avoid re-install if possible, took a long time to get apps back.

what gapps did you to flash the AOSP rom? I use minimal gapps all the time to allow my apps to be restored via PlayStore plus I dont like all that bloatware. Do you use and exchange email? I normally delete that from my system.
You can always wipe cache(s) download a new gapps then wipe cache, dalvik and system(only) and reflash rom and gapps again. NO loss of apps will occur

Flappy's AOSP rom came with gapps pre-installed, rom instructions said to specifically NOT install gapps separately. I agree with you, I prefer minimal and less bloat. I wanted a clean AOSP rom to throw Gravitybox on, as this is what I'm used to coming from the Nexus world.
I don't use Exchange, but have disabled the built-in EMAIL app - would that cause problems? Is it easy to delete Exchange?
Ok, thanks for the tip - I'll try the reflash if the problem continues.

I'm fairly certain Xposed is ok - been using it for ages on my previous phones. I think I may have found the issue, though - I noticed I was getting FC's mostly when I was typing. Flappy's ROM came with the CM keyboard, and I installed the standard AOSP Google keyboard over top, but it was still using the default spell-checker from the CM keyboard. In settings->input, I changed it to the Google Keyboard AND the Google spell-checker and haven't got a typing-related FC since. Maybe there was some incompatibility between the CM spell checker and the Google keyboard. Anyway, thought I'd mention it, in case it helps others..
Thanks!
running 5.0.1. Google Now launcher seems to restart all the time, as well as many other apps, and it is running very slowly. I've heard maybe there is a memory leak? Any fix for this?
You have three choices:
1. Reboot
2. Back to KitKat
3. Wait for 5.1

It's a really random lollipop memory leak, some people get it really bad (like you seem to) some seem to have no issues (like me) your best option is to just reboot at least once a day but obviously you may need more than one depending on how bad it is

Ofc I'm not sure. To me it's some app he's got installed. I run LRX22C (5.0.1) and I don't need to reboot my device everyday. I mentioned disabling GNL cos wth not, worth a shot. I'd be way more agressive about it. I'd already flashed factory img for sure, as soon as i'd notice something wrong.
4 clean master. As well as speeding the phone by cleaning junk left it has a block list you can add to. I've only 3 apps that have permission to run on their own. The others are not frozen. They just stop when not used

dont think you really thinking this through properly. The time taken to honestly reflash a rom is way faster than removing apps believe me. Also in stock you have to remove two files since its odex file system.
Now with that said you could of just google searched safe apps to remove from system and be done with it but believe me all this back and forth is longer than just downloading pico gapps from pa booting into recovery simply wipe /system and then reflash rom and gapps.... But dont believe me I have only been doing this for like 8 years now...
Hello. This is my first ROM, based off of Cyanogenmod. A few Cyanogen features have been removed, and some non-CM features have been added. I am still testing it, but it seems to work fine for my t769.
WILL NOT WORK ON EXHILERATE
If any moderator wants me to remove DL links and close thread, notify me immediately.
This is my personal ROM, I build one after every CM nightly that comes out. I'm just uploading it here/my Dropbox for anyone who wants the same experience.
What exactly have I done?
-UberKernel v1 1.89GHz stock clock
-Removed CM's annoying Statistics and Bug Reports
-Removed stock CM apps
-Added ES File Explorer Free in place of CM File Manager
-Added Kernel Tuner
-Added stock 4.2 AOSP Launcher in place of Trebuchet
-Replaced CM's Torch with the one from CM10 (now has strobe, a useful feature that was removed in KitKat)
-Replaced Browser with AOSP 4.1.2
-Added Anthony Resario's Afterburner theme
-Replaced CM's boot screen with a generic Android boot screen
-Replaced DeskClock with the AOSP equivalent from 4.1.2
-Removed some live wallpapers
-Added Link2SD system app
How to install
1. Make sure you have a recovery installed. If not, I will be uploading an Odin-compatible package in the future. I recommend Philz Touch, although a different CM based recovery will work. Not tested on TWRP, use at your own risk.
2. Make a NANDROID backup.
3. Wipe Data
4. Wipe /sytem
5. Wipe /cahce
6. Factory reset
7. Install ROM
8. Wipe the Dalvik
9. Factory reset
10. Reboot, and keep an eye on it. Apps will prompt for SU on boot.
11. After it's done, reboot and install GApps if you want/need them.
DISCLAIMER:
I am not responsible if you brick, fry, or otherwise destroy your device as a result of flashing this ROM. I will not claim liability or replace your device. All features included in this ROM are properties of their respective owners, I merely assembled them into one place.
Changelog:
1/10/2016 - First beta/testing release
Planned features:
-Better DSP manager
-New default background
-possible shutdown sequence
-Flash Player support
-maybe 2.0GHz clock rate if it doesn't burn my device
-Tweak battery/4G
-Button light fix
-AOSP KitKat launcher

I'm behind on a nightly, so not as good as normal. Right now, my Blaze hasn't had its 4 year old battery replaced, but when on standby with WiFi, min/max frequency set to 192/1890MHz and Governor set to Samsung with a ROW I/O scheduler, get about 3 days until it completely dies. The temperature sensor in my battery is shot, so I can't accurately report temperatures until I can find a decent OEM battery replacement. WiFi doesn't work properly, which is a bug in the kernel I have to fix in the updater script. My suggestion (until I fix various things with my ROM) is to download the latest CM nightly, flash UberKernel V1, and use Link2SD to uninstall all of the CM bloatware. If you're feeling adventurous and daring you can flash this and report the results.
Im on Validus by GZRoms 4.4.4 and the thread seams to be closed.... Cant ask questions. I have NO more internal space, with barely any apps installed. It partitioned my internal to have its on storage, built in SD, and my ACTUAL external SD. I cannot figure how to move apps to SD, it will not work, Ive tried the app2sd fixes, ive gone to apps and enabled 'App moving' and rebooted. No dice. Any help?

My battery life is terrible most times on Validus 4.4.4 as well, even with the UBER 4.1 kernel. Thats why i asked you about the battery life on yours cause I need more. Have you used that 4.4.4? That one and yours seem to be the only ones and I need to be able to move apps2sd so I can actually have the apps I want. Literally have only 10 apps installed probably.

Try Link2SD, and try my ROM. I just released a new nightly, the WiFi should work, if not I need to update it again.
Also, the Blaze only comes with 1.4GB of internal storage. I use PA GApps pico, and install anything else I actually use (like maps and Hangouts Dialer). GApps can easily take up massive amounts of space. Battery life has been fixed in my latest nightly. Please try out the ROM and see what it does. You have to do a FULL SYSTEM WIPE, except for EFS and RADIO partitions. I use PhilZ Touch. app2SD is frankly a terrible app in comparison to Link2SD, which is included in my ROM. If you use the SAMSUNG governor and ROW I/O scheduler and the battery life still sucks, get a new battery. If you also constantly have 4G, Wifi, and Bluetooth as well as NFC on, that will definitely drain your battery. Open Battery Stats in Settings and tell me what uses the most battery. Turn your screen brightness all the way down.

It if's the Google setup, boot the phone without flashing GApps a few times, finish the CM setup wizard, change a few settings, browse the web. After that then flash GApps and add an account through settings.
Another thing you can try is booting the phone in Safe Mode by holding the Vol+ and Vol- keys during boot.
I can't seem to be able to clear the defaults for Launcher so that I enable a new one. Am I missing something or is it just not possible?

Go to Settings and then go to Home, there you can change what launcher you use.

Sorry, I should have said, I tried looking there too, I don't have a home option anywhere in settings, not under personalization, or anywhere else that I can find.

Use Link2SD to make the launcher you want a system app and then uninstall the one I included. I just bought another Blaze (mine was stolen) so I will resume development as soon as it arrives.
Also, how do you like the ROM? Does everything function properly?
By the way, the thanks button is right at the bottom of all of my posts.

Havent used it much, everytime I try and install, I get the error of Setupwizard force close and can never set up the ROM. When is your Blaze arriving? Any chances we will get any new updates or advances? I will try and reinstall today.

I don't know when, probably next week and depending upon where CM source is at in development we might see NoobROM 5.1. I like KitKat better, and this is more of a personal project so it might stay KitKat with 5.1 APIs.
I might just scrap the CM wizard. It's pretty useless and only serves its purpose for new users.

Development has been halted as of now because some [email protected] stole my Blaze. I'm saving for a new one but I kinda need the $70 because its part of my food budget.

Hey I got it up and running pretty well, couple problems.... battery charged all night over night and my battery will not move past 26%. I dont think this is ROM specific as I was having weird battery issues before. I don't know what to do tho? And I have quite a few Force Closes of apps, including Facebook, and ESPN. They force close regularly and are pretty much unusable. Valadis ROM seemed a lot more stable. I love the link2SD tho it works almost flawless! I can now have my apps back, even tho 1 of 2 internal storage still shows only 20+MB free internal? Why? I have all my apps installed externally. Anyway, if we flash a different kernel, or the one from Valadus ROM, will it break the link2SD feature?? Idk what it is, but that ROM is smoother and less Force Closes. I'll keep running this and look forward to an update!

Slow down, speed racer.
To answer your questions:
Q. What's wrong with my battery?
A. The Blaze is known for battery issues. Go into recovery, wipe everything (SD card, system, dalvik, factory reset, and data+cache), and then flash a new ROM. If your battery issues persist your battery is shot. Order a new one online.
Q. Is your kernel stable?
A. It's as stable as I could get it. If you're having trouble with FCs, reinstall PA GApps 4.4.4.
Q. Will flashing a new kernel break the ROM?
Short answer: Yes.
Long, complicated answer: No.
Q. I have no space left.
A. To free up internal storage, make sure your SD card is at least 16GB, I recommend 32 for this ROM. Install all the apps you want and then get rid of the Play Store. I use Blackmart, and will include it in the next update.
